Reception
Critical response
R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "This is definitely both Chandru's and Shivanna's 'sure shot' at erasing their past mistakes. All in all, Mylari is a good entertainer". A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Meanwhile, the SP (Ravi Kale) of the area wants to know about Mylari. The movie is a worth watch for those who want to see the dancing skills of hattrick hero Shivaraj Kumar". A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "While Sada wins your heart with her excellent expressions and few dialogues, Sanjana shines in her lively and mischievous role. Suchendra Prasad rightly fits the role of a politician. K S Chandrashekar gives some brilliant cinematography". A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "The film has all the commercial trappings of a village-boy-caught-in-a-city story, which Shiva Rajkumar has made his own. The film is not in the same class as Jogi or Om, even though Puneeth croons in the title song that Mylari is not Jogi or Om's Sathya. Very true". B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Sada looks famished, Rangayana Raghu and Guruprasad irritate and Suchendra Prasad’s mumbling doesn’t help his essay of villainy. The others are hardly missed. Cinematography shines, while the same is not true of music. Shivanna fans will definitely love Mylari along with families of course".
